This was the first book that got me interested in reading. This details Lincoln’s childhood more than his adult life that has been written about so often. This goes into some of the daily life he had as a poor child who had a strained relationship with his father, Thomas. But had a very close relationship with his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln and his stepmother Sarah Bush Lincoln. Both who inspired him to learn and read. I read this when I was about 10. ( )

I loved this book, about third grade. Felt like I knew the future pres. ( )
